Federer vs Llodra

By Nishant Joshi

After a long post-Wimbledon break, Roger Federer is playing in his first tournament in this American hardcourt swing. He faces Frenchman Michael Llodra in this third round encounter, and could easily face some serious problems here.

In a best of three format, the Frenchman is not without his chances, despite an awful lifetime hardcourt record. It should be noted that his serving stats have been phenomenal for the first two rounds, winning about 90% of all first serves. This could easily be a serve-fest, and with the Frenchie in such good serving form, 3.0 on the tiebreak in the match has to be snapped up.

NJ's Bet:

Llodra/Federer tie-break in the match - 4pts @ 3.0 (Bet365)
